You will use mathematical argument and reasoning together with mathematical language and proof. You will study topics from the fields of pure mathematics, mechanics and statistics. The increased importance of the use of technology means all students will need a graphical calculator for this course. Assessment at the end of the two years is by three two hour exams.
